"Khosrow and Shirin", also spelled Khosrau and Shirn,Chosroes and ShirinHusraw and Shireen and Khosru and Shirin, (Persianخسرو و شیرین‎) is the title of a famous Persian tragic romance by Nizami Ganjavi (1141−1209). It tells a highly elaborated fictional version of the story of the love of the  Sassanian king Khosrow II for the Aramean or Armenian princess Shirin, who becomes his queen.[1][2][3] The essential narrative is a love story of Persian origin which was already well-known from the great epico-in historical poem the Shahnameh and other Persian writers and popular tales, and other works have the same title.[4]
Variants of the story were also told under the titles "Shirin and Farhad" or "Farhad and Shirin".
